Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Diagnosis
They tell me
there’s blue in you, my girl
there are seas in your chest
and waves in your mouth
water in your eye lids,
black pupil shaped boats
as pills slide across counters
in ill-fitting life jackets.
They say if I swallow
the ocean will come back for me.
there’s blue in you, my girl
there are seas in your chest
and waves in your mouth
water in your eye lids,

So Far, O!
Dedicated to L M.
Betrayed to an inferno and sold
I want to escape and scream:
"Run! Run! Cold!"
But I'm just a beginner, a layman's dream
I am being manipulated without end
From a bastard heartless
He made himself a bully above quick sand
It only gives me grief and pain, endless mess
I was only used
Abused as a tool
Soiled my dignity and honour, rused
Stressed and upset, a fool
Bored and in the end
I am hollowed out and empty forever
My sad face speaks volumes sent
My burden is forever...
Betrayed to an inferno and sold
I want to escape and scream:
"Run! Run! Cold!"
But I'm just a beginner, a layman's dream
I am being manipulated without end
From a bastard heartless
He made himself a bully above quick sand
It only gives me grief and pain, endless mess
I was only used
Abused as a tool
Soiled my dignity and honour, rused
Stressed and upset, a fool
Bored and in the end
I am hollowed out and empty forever
My sad face speaks volumes sent
My burden is forever...

an accustomed numb.
a flash and it dawns on you
unimagined and least expected—
bursting of clarification
absolute in the moment self-righteousness
(unasked for)
snapping into surprising place,
~that fucking missing puzzle piece~
found under a couch cushion of happenstance
only now the wish is,
for the return of the misty opaqueness
all that familiar unknowing
so comfortable in an accustomed numb
happily blinded by "well, I don't have a choice"
left self stagnant in beautiful non-decision,
is the new dream of yearn;
dragging that...

Longing
Sometimes I feel so alone
No flesh
Barest of Bone
I hug for something
The unknown
For someone to look at me
And know
No flesh
Barest of Bone
I hug for something
The unknown
For someone to look at me
And know

Here we go again
Bring on the hurt
I've thrown myself
Back in the dirt
Given into my sins
Opened that bottle
And killed it again
Speaking of killing...
How about myself
I guess I'm just sick
Of crying out for help
Drown myself
Drown my sorrows
Wake up again
Do it tomorrow
Pour another one
Drink from the cup
Do it again
Till I don't wake up
I've thrown myself
Back in the dirt
Given into my sins
Opened that bottle
And killed it again
Speaking of killing...
How about myself
I guess I'm just sick
Of crying out for help
Drown myself
Drown my sorrows
Wake up again
Do it tomorrow
Pour another one
Drink from the cup
Do it again
Till I don't wake up

Depression's Trinity (NoPoo 62)
Short on dignity
Flirted with death
Solid rock depression
Has weighed heavy
No amount of chipping away
Lessens the impact
**
In every breath
A battle rages silently
Reason's place is shadowed here
Hidden behind brown eyes
spiraling pain continues onwards
***
Apathy spinning its web
Making it more difficult
To move any distance
Slowly decaying sanity
An empty loneliness
Bites down

Normal?
What is normal?
Who can tell me, please?
Why it's not normal
To be like me
Who's to say I'm crazy
If I'm true to myself
You're the one who's locked
In your self made cell
Is my mind really lost
Because it's not like yours?
Do you think it makes me
Rotten to the core?
If you don't understand
What I'm talking about
Maybe you're the one
With the bulbs burnt out
Who can tell me, please?
Why it's not normal
To be like me
Who's to say I'm crazy
If I'm true to myself
You're the one who's locked
In your self made cell
Is my mind really lost
Because it's not like yours?
Do you think it makes me
Rotten to the core?
If you don't understand
What I'm talking about
Maybe you're the one
With the bulbs burnt out

Alone
I feel nobody cares. I walk around and get nothing but vacant stares.
My life is nothing but a void of emptiness and for everything that happens I’m extremely unprepared. A fog of sadness surrounds me. The substances have done damage to my brain. I can’t cope with the magnitude of thoughts that drive me insane. A way to let it out would be nice before suicide. A death in vain. The only thing I can do right is complain. Anything, any way at all, to release the inner turmoil besides alcohol. Would be nice if once or twice, I could feel something better in my life.

Cutting Onions
I cling aimlessly
to failure,
like a sailor
to his sinking ship
peeling back
another layer,
of this stinking shit
that coats my core
cutting onions is such a chore
this leaky faucet
needs a fix,
and it's beginning to drip
into every facet
of my life
little ripples rise—
to the surface
of Lake Placid,
growing nervous
into flowing rapids
silly rabbit
just when you thought
this storm was passing,
your stomach's churning
and...

Whom I'm Running From
Cloudiness
Is all I see
Everything I own
Doesn't mean much to me
Another mood swing
In my head
Is swinging the truth
Unloved
Alone in this world
Is all I feel
No matter what's
Laid upon me
I'm nothing
Invisible
To those around
A drink
Hard liquor
I think about
But even that
Won't cure me
I got to leave
My mind is telling me
My only way
To find some closure
Create some type of stability
I got to run
Fill up my gas tank
Merge into traffic ...
Is all I see
Everything I own
Doesn't mean much to me
Another mood swing
In my head
Is swinging the truth
Unloved
Alone in this world
Is all I feel
No matter what's
Laid upon me
I'm nothing
Invisible
To those around
A drink
Hard liquor
I think about
But even that
Won't cure me
I got to leave
My mind is telling me
My only way
To find some closure
Create some type of stability

Scraps
The scraps of my memories
Lay upon a pretty platter
A tip of the edge
And they all scatter
But the only sound I hear is static
A weak signal barely catching.
The clank of a shovel on this shallow grave
Gives me just enough rhythm to keep on digging
Lay upon a pretty platter
A tip of the edge
And they all scatter
But the only sound I hear is static
A weak signal barely catching.
The clank of a shovel on this shallow grave
Gives me just enough rhythm to keep on digging
